This is a copycat recipe for the cajun chicken bites served in the food court in some malls. My family loves it. The prep time does not include the marinade time.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs or other boneless skinless chicken pieces, cut in bite-size chunks (I think breast meat is too dry for this recipe)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon powdered ginger
2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
1/2 cup bourbon (like Jim Beam)
2 tablespoons white wine

Directions

1
Mix all the marinade ingredients, except white wine, in a zip lock bag.
2
Put chicken pieces in the bag.
3
Refrigerate at least several hours (preferably overnight).
4
Bake chicken at 350 F for one hour in a single layer, basting with marinade every 10 minutes.
5
Remove chicken.
6
Scrape pan juices with all the brown bits and pour into a skillet.
7
Add any remaining marinade and add 2 tbsp white wine to the skillet.
8
Heat and add chicken.
9
Boil for one minute and serve over cooked rice, or as an appetizer with individual toothpicks in each piece of chicken.

OMG! I had this while on vaction at D.C. and had to have at my own. This is a simple recipe, a little time consuming but it is worth it.

This was a lovely dish. I followed the recipe, except for reducing the amount of sugar. Just like the bourbon chicken we tried when in the US years ago. Served over a garden salad for a great dinner. Made for ZWT5 by a Hell's Kitchen Angel.

Unbelieveable!!I had a birthday dinner for my mother and had 12 people there. I made three servings of the chicken as well as a hugh pot of Gumbo, rice, and shrimp. The bourbon chicken was gone in a flash. Everyone asked for the receipe. Monica Pensacola, FL

These were tastey but a bit salty. Instead of baking in a single layer and continually marinating, I put the chicken in a covered casserole dish (reserving the excess marinade) and baked at 350 for 1 hour. Then followed the directions as instructed.
